Chapter 4: Truth Revealed

From last time.

Hiei yelled "keep up will you." I replied "I'm trying, I'm not that fast you know. Also I don't want to get a certain somebody mad again now do I Hiei." He replied "hn. Just keep up." I ran to catch up with him and we continued walking back to Kurama and Lorea. I decided to jump into a tree and just jump from tree to tree as it would go faster. Hiei saw as I jumped into a tree and followed the example.

Now on with this chapter.

"Ahh, when do you think they'll get back?" yawned Lorea. "I haven't a clue. I just hope they both come back in one piece," answered Kurama. "Good point. Hiei looked mad enough to tear her to shreds," said Lorea. Kurama nodded.

"Onna, move faster!" barked Hiei. "I'm trying, but you keep going faster every time I catch up to you" I yelled. "hn, onna that's your problem not mine, and where almost there anyway." Shot Hiei. "Baka Youkai" I muttered. "What was that girl?" he ordered. "Nothing Hiei nothing," I said. I hopped down from the tree I was standing in, to come face to face with Lorea. "Hi ya Kaija. Glad to see you're alive," joked my sister.

"Funny real funny Lorea," I said sarcastically. Hiei appeared beside me. "Kaija, why did you want to destroy Ningenkai anyways?" asked Kurama. "Ummm..." I started. "She probably forgot," smirked Hiei. "That's not funny, baka," I snarled. "Why did you do it?" asked Lorea. "Ummm... because... I... felt like it" I answered nervously. "Onna. Truth. Now," Hiei Commanded. "That's basically the truth," I said.

"Don't make me force the answer out of you, Kaija" Hiei said as he put his hand on his katana. "Fine, I was assigned to kill this person, I don't remember who, and I ended up almost destroying the Ningenkai in an attempt to kill the person." "I see that it takes a threat to get you to speak the truth. Isn't that right Kaija?" Kurama was staring mouth half open at what his sister had just said. Lorea sat down before she fell down and then screamed "THAT MEANS MY SISTER IS A HIRED ASSASSIN."

Hiei garbed my wrist again and pulled me some 200 yards away and asked "are you really an assassin? And tell me the truth." "Well yes I am, but I think I got fired." I laughed. Hiei glared at me and barked "why do you think you got fired?" "Well I haven't been replying to any of his MMC's (mental message calls) and he said 'if you don't answer my MMC's you will be fired'."

Lorea muttered "they left us again." "Yes it would seem so." Kurama replied. "But Hiei has to have a good reason for pulling Kaija away like that." Lorea said. Kurama replied "well, he doesn't always have a reason for what he does and sometimes his actions have odd consequences and reactions from the people the action is towards." Lorea took a little while to comprehend what Kurama had said and finally said "well I hope he has a reason and the consequences don't end up with half the Makai blown to bits." Kurama nodded.

Hiei looked around and said "well he won't be fireing you anytime soon, onna, I'll make sure of that." I hugged Hiei well screaming "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" "Get off me NOW! onna NOW!" Hiei barked. I let and shrank back against a tree in fear and waited for him to kill me for hugging him. He pulled out his katana and slashed at my back a few times making the 4 katana's on my back fall to the ground. "ACK!!! THOSE straps WERE LEATHER AND INLAID WITH GOLD." I yelled. "Hn. Don't touch me again onna unless you have permission, and that won't be often. Do you understand?" Hiei spoke in a simple monotone. "Yes I suppose so Hiei. Can I ask you something?" I said. "Hn. I guess so." Hiei replied.

Lorea sat down and pulled her History book out of her book bag and began her homework. Kurama just watched. Lorea asked "don't you have any homework Kurama?" "No I finished all mine in school." He replied. "Ok well I have a ton, so I'll be working on it for most of the time, so can you keep a look out for the two lovebirds?" Lorea asked. "Yeah I can." Kurama replied.

"Why do you not want me to get fired?" I asked quietly. "Well if you got fired your parents would be angry with me or you. If they get mad at either one of us I'll never hear the end of it." He stated in his monotone. "Oh well can we go back before the my siblings start to worry that you killed me or something?" I asked. "Hn." was all he replied before he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and began to run, well muttering "at least one of us still has all there abilities and powers, and is not on probation. I'll be running you wherever you need to go, got it." "Yes I guess it must be as your not going to let go are you." I muttered. "Your right I'm not, now shut up before I shut you up." Hiei said in a serious voice. I closed my mouth and kept silent all the rest of the trip.

Kurama stood against a tree watching for Kaija and Hiei to come into view. Lorea finished up her History and put it away and began to pull out her math when she asked "hey Kurama how come you guys need Kaija and I just now and not sooner or later?" "I can't give you a strait answer because I don't know. We heard Koenma talking to his father about you two and how Kaija just dissapered off all tracking systems. Thats why he told Hiei and I to come get you and your 'sister'." Kurama replied with a sad tone. "Oh that makes some sense and I see Hiei with something on his shoulder." Lorea stated plainly.

Hiei was running fast and finally he came within sight of Lorea and Kurama. "Are we there yet?" I asked but then slapped my hand over my mouth remembering what Hiei had said. Hiei threw me to the ground and said "I told you to shut up. I see you didn't understand that so I'll just make wish you had never spoken." I skidded across the ground for about 10 feet away from Hiei and stared up at an angry fire youkai. I continued starring and watched as he pulled out his katana. "I'm going to teach you to listen to me when I say something such as shut up or be quiet. Maybe after this you will listen to me." I shrank back kind of scared of the demon in front of me. He dropped the katana and grabbed my wrist.

Kurama said "yes I think it is, but why did he stop and throw that thing off his shoulder?" "Your guess is as good as mine but I hope that the thing he threw wasn't Kaija." Lorea said with worry in her voice. Kurama asked "well do you want to check if it's them?" Kurama pulled Lorea up and they ran towards the other two hoping beyond all hope that they were alright. Kurama said "Lorea, I think that the thing he threw was Kaija but it's just a guess." Lorea sighed and said "well if he hurt her he'll have to deal with me and nobody else!"

Hiei pulled me to my feet and grabbed hold of my shoulders. I closed my eyes waiting for pain or something but it never came. Hiei muttered "open your eyes onna, NOW!" I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with a pair of crimson eyes staring right at me. I asked "can I please bandage my legs they are kind of bloody from skidding across the ground like that?" "I'll do it for you, onna do you have any bandages with you?" Hiei said. I looked in my book bag for some bandages and found none. "Sorry Hiei I don't have any with me, I wasn't expecting to need bandages any time soon, I'll start carrying them with me though." I said well he continued to watch the blood run down from my knees.

Kurama and Lorea stopped running at the bottom of the hill still watching the two at the top. "I can't run anymore Kurama." Lorea panted. "Nor can I." Kurama stated. They sat down and talked for a few minuets. "So how did you know that you needed Kaija and myself?" Lorea asked. "Well Koenma gave us your very small files and one of them said 'dangerous' on it." Kurama replied. "But that doesn't explain how you knew you needed Kaija and myself." Lorea said again. Kurama replied "well we read the files and found out that Koenma wanted us to find you."

Hiei began to rip some of the cloth from around the bottom of his shirt. I watched as he placed the cloth on the bleeding areas and pulled the tape out from my book bag and taped the edges of the cloth down. Hiei asked "why don't you carry bandages with you anyway?" "Well I never had a use for them till now." I replied simply. "Well when we get to your house I can get you some real bandages and not just some shreds of a shirt with tape on them." Hiei stated flatly. I started walking away from Hiei and down the hill we were on.

Lorea asked "Isn't that Kaija coming down the hill?" "Yes I think it is." Kurama replied. They watched as the person made there way down the hill slowly and carefully. "Yeah that's Kaija, I can tell by the way she's walking." Lorea said Kurama nodded and they both waited for Kaija to finish coming down the hill. Lorea looked up to the top of the hill and saw Hiei sliding down the hill a little ways behind Kaija.

Hiei quickly caught up with me and pulled me onto his lap. I was surprised and almost fell out of his lap but he grabbed my shoulders and held on tight. "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled as we slid down the hill. Hiei slammed a hand over my mouth saying "quiet, we can't have people knowing your here and coming to get you. So I suggest you quiet down." I looked at Hiei with scarred eyes and he shoved my head into his chest so that I couldn't see anything.

Kurama and Lorea watched as the two slid down the hill and finally stopped at the bottom. Lorea walked to Hiei and asked "what was all that about?" Hiei replied "well I needed to ask her some questions and didn't want anyone overhearing, Kurama." I opened my eyes and saw that we were at the bottom of the hill. Hiei said "as you can see she gets scared when in something out of her control. Like me or the fact that I can control her as her powers are weak until Koenma restores them to full." Kurama asked "why was she on your lap on the way down Hiei?" "She wouldn't shut up and I couldn't reach her when she was standing. I pulled her down and shut her up. She just so happens to have landed on my lap." Hiei replied.

Lorea and I stood around bored waiting for the two boys to finish up there little argument about what happened with me. I walked off yelling "I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW GUY'S". Hiei walked to Lorea and asked "where is she going?" "No clue. Your guess is as good as mine." Replied a very worn out Lorea. Hiei started following me when I was a few 100 feet away and kept hidden in the shadows.

I walked to a clearing in the forest and sat down for a few minuets. Hiei staid hidden in the shadows and heard me mutter "it feels good to be home after so long." and then he fell out of the tree he was in. I looked up and saw Hiei lying on his back in the clearing and laughed silently to myself. "So how long have you been away from home Kaija?" Hiei asked. "About 250 years, why do you ask?" I replied. "Well you said 'it feels good to be home after so long' so I was just wondering."

I'm gonna leave it here and leave you guys wondering. I'm evil.
